Answer:
Credit Sales Taxes Payable for $23700
Explanation:
The journal entry to reflect the sale transactions is:
- Account Cash, an asset account, which increases with debit. $395000 + $23700.
If you debit a cash account, then this means that the amount of cash on hand increases.
- Account Sales, an income account, which increases with credit. $395000.
Income accounts, a credit increases the balance.
- Account Sales Taxes Payable, a liability account, wich increases with credit. $23700.
If you credit an accounts payable account, this means that the amount of accounts payable liability increases.
If a firm's average total cost is less than price where MR = MC,
A. the firm should cut back on its output to lower its cost.
B. the firm should raise its price.
C. the firm should produce if its price exceeds average variable cost.
D. the firm should shut down.
Answer:
C. the firm should produce if its price exceeds average variable cost.
Explanation:
WHen average total cost is less that price, this means you are making a profit, and since they are in the equilibrium sate with Margina revenue being equal to marginal cost, they are in the sweet spot of production, so the only thing left for them is producing if its price exceeds average variable cost, and that would maximize their profits.

The seaport town of New Monopoly has become extremely popular with shipping companies due to its superior location. The port has become so congested that ships must wait hours every day just to dock. This is an example of:1- marginal analysis.2- a private good.3- a recession.4- market failure.B: The mayor of New Monopoly realizes that the congestion at the port costs the shipping companies and his town money. Which decision would NOT move him towards a command economy?1- The mayor orders the port\'s employees to work extra hours.2- The mayor decides to only allow the five most profitable shipping companies to use the port.3- The mayor decides to let individual firms and consumers find a solution for the excessive wait time.
Answer:
The correct answer is option 4.
B. The correct answer is option 3.
Explanation:
The seaport town here became extremely popular with shipping countries due to its location. It increased the demand for docking at the port. As a result, the port became congested and ships must wait for hours. This is an example of market failure.
Here, the market is not able to efficiently allocate the product. The demand for the port is higher than what the market is able to supply efficiently.
A command economy can be defined as the economy in which the activities are controlled by any central agency, generally a government.
The Mayor instead of controlling if tries to solve the problem through the working of the market forces then it would be farthest from a command economy. If Mayor intervenes in any way then it is a command economy.
Final answer:
Congestion in the seaport town of New Monopoly exemplifies market failure. The decision to let firms and consumers find their own solution to this situation aligns with market principles rather than those of a command economy. Hence, the correct option for part A is 4 and the correct option for part B is 3
Explanation:
The situation described in the seaport town of New Monopoly, where ships must wait hours every day just to dock, is an example of market failure. Market failure occurs when the allocation of goods and services by a free market is not efficient, often leading to a net social welfare loss. Congestion is a type of market failure because it indicates that the port's infrastructure cannot handle the volume of traffic being directed towards it, therefore failing to distribute docking access properly and efficiently.
Regarding the decision that would NOT move the mayor towards a command economy, choosing to let individual firms and consumers find a solution for the excessive wait time would be most aligned with free market principles. A command economy implies government control over economic decisions such as resource allocation and production. When the mayor allows market forces to address the port congestion, he is leaning towards market solutions rather than command economy approaches.
Consider a situation in which a utility company emits high levels of sulfur dioxide and the company is not liable for the damages its pollution causes. According to the Coase theorem, government action is _____________ to achieve an __________ amount of pollution.
a) necessary; equitable
b) necessary; efficient
c) not necessary; equitable
d) not necessary; efficient
Answer:
d) not necessary; efficient
Explanation:
Coase theorem focuses on mutual negotiation between the parties in conflict rather than involvement of the third parties that is government in order to increase any utility or services.
Although the pollution in the given instance shall not exceed the maximum acceptable level.
Thus, it shall be efficient amount of pollution.
In that case, no government shall regulate in between.

On January 1,2013, James Company reported total current assets of $658,000 and total current liabilities of $365,000. During the year, James purchased $2,000 worth of equipment for cash, paid $560 towards salaries, and borrowed $80,000 from its bank to be repaid after 5 years. Compute James' working capital as of December 31, 2013.
A. $293,000
B. $335,400
C. $370,440
D. $290,440
Answer: Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Total current assets = $658,000
Current Assets = total current assets - purchased equipment - salaries paid + Borrowings
= $658,000 - $2000 - $560 + $80000
= $735,440
Total current liabilities = $365,000
Working Capital of James as on December 31, 2013:
= Current Assets - Current Liabilities
= $735,440 - $365,000
= $370,440

_________________ are more likely to arise from a group that is easily identifiable, rather than from a group where some of those who suffered may not even recognize that _____________________________.
A. Connected peoples; specific tax breaks exist for them
B. Socially isolated people; government intervention is needed
C. Special interests; they are bearing the costs
D. Beneficiaries; rent controls are in effect
Answer:
The answer is: C) Special interests; they are bearing the costs.
Explanation:
A group of people, institutions or companies that share a common goal are more likely to achieve them or be more successful at their execution when they are easily and publicly identified to them. In politics, this is the whole concept behind lobbying. Generally those groups that take the effort to make their demands public will be more successful in achieving them. That is true even if some other group or the majority of the population suffers from those actions.
We can use the NRA as an example for this assumption. They are a well organized, funded and publicized group that firmly believes in their right to bear arms. I myself share that same belief. But I doubt anyone could argue why we need to sell machine guns or grenade launchers to common ordinary people that aren´t even trained to use them. But they have made their claim so well known and connected with the right politicians, that even mass murdering machines are available to the common public. And the cost of their actions are been paid mostly by innocent victims (and their families and communities) and the nation as a whole.

Luka, who owns a small breakfast and salad bar, has a reputation in the community as a tough manager. Many customers have heard Luka yell at his employees because he feels that workers today are lazy, lack ambition, and hate to work. Luka is a(n) ____ manager.
Luka is an authoritarian manager known for closely supervising and controlling employees through directives and disciplinary actions.
Luka, described in the scenario, can be characterized as a traditional or authoritarian manager. This type of management style is evident when a manager believes their employees are inherently unmotivated and thus must be supervised closely and controlled through directives and disciplinary actions.
The described behavior, such as yelling at employees and having a negative view of their work ethic, suggests Luka operates under the assumption that employees need to be pushed to perform their duties.
While this may ensure immediate compliance, it typically does not foster a positive work environment, could lead to high employee turnover, and might adversely affect customer perceptions of the business.

Rico’s Taqueria had cash inflows from operating activities of $35,000; cash outflows from investing activities of $30,000, and cash outflows from financing activities of $20,000. Calculate the net increase or decrease in cash.
Answer:
$15,000 decrease
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the net increase or the decrease in the cash is:
[tex]Net\ change\ in\ the\ cash\ =\ Cash\ inflows\ from\ operations\ -\ Cash\ outflows \from\ investing\ +\ Cash\ inflows\ from\ financing[/tex]
Given that:
Cash inflows from the operations = $35,000
Cash Flows from the Investing Activities = $30,000
Cash Flows from the Financing Activities = $20,000
Net Increase/Decrease in Cash = $35,000 - $ 30,000 + $ 20,000
Net Increase/Decrease in Cash = - $15,000
Since, negative sign signifies decrease.
So, there is net decrease of $15,000 in cash.

Brain Boost Inc. is a leading educational toy company. Competitors across the globe have failed to imitate Brain Boost's production models, supply chain systems, knowledge systems, and culture. These attributes have remained unique to Brain Boost Inc. for a long time. Which of the following assumptions of the resource-based model of competitive advantage does this scenario best illustrate?
Answer:
Resource Immobility
Explanation:
A critical assumption of the resource-based model—resource immobility—is that resources tend to be "sticky" and don't move easily from firm to firm. Because of that stickiness, the resource differences that exist between firms are difficult to replicate and, therefore, can last for a long time
Keisha owns a house worth $275,000 with a mortgage of $195,000. She owns a car worth $12,000 and has $7,500 in car loans. She has $3,000 in investments, $2,700 in a bank account, and owes $1,500 on a credit card. What is Keisha’s net worth?
Answer: $88,700
Explanation:
Given that,
House value = $275,000
Mortgage = $195,000
Car value = $12,000
Car loans = $7,500
Investments = $3,000
Bank account = $2,700
Owes on a credit card = $1,500
Keisha’s net worth:
= House value - Mortgage + Car value - Car loans + Investments + Bank account - Owes on a credit card
= $275,000 - $195,000 + $12,000 - $7,500 + $3,000 + $2,700 - $1,500
= $88,700
Keisha owns a house worth $275,000 with a mortgage of $195,000. She owns a car worth $12,000 and has $7,500 in car loans. She has $3,000 in investments, $2,700 in a bank account, and owes $1,500 on a credit card. Keisha's net worth is $88,700.
To calculate Keisha's net worth, we need to subtract her liabilities (debts) from her assets (what she owns). Let's break it down:
Assets:
- House worth $275,000
- Car worth $12,000
- Investments totaling $3,000
- Bank account balance of $2,700
Total Assets: $275,000 + $12,000 + $3,000 + $2,700 = $292,700
Liabilities:
- Mortgage of $195,000
- Car loans totaling $7,500
- Credit card debt of $1,500
Total Liabilities: $195,000 + $7,500 + $1,500 = $204,000
Net Worth:
Net Worth = Total Assets - Total Liabilities
Net Worth = $292,700 - $204,000

The accounting principle that ensures all expenses are recorded during the period when they are incurred and offsets those expenses against the revenues of the period is called the ________ principle.
Answer:
The correct answer is Congruence.
Explanation:
Any company that makes its financial statements available to the public will conform to GAAP standards. The congruence principle is one of the fundamental lines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) This process is different from the cash accounting principles that the total amount of income or expenses is recorded regardless of when They have an impact on the cash flow of the company. The GAAP congruence principle helps to provide a clear and accurate picture of cash on hand, the revenue generated and expenses incurred at a specific point in time (see Resources below).
In order to minimize errors and provide accurate account information during the accounting period, companies can recognize expenses and revenues that occur within a time-giving period. The GAAP congruence principle recognizes expenses when they are incurred, and when it distinguishes between deferred income and accrued expenses in order to determine its real value of the company at a given time.
The matching principle in accounting ensures that expenses are recorded when incurred and matched with the revenues they help to generate during that period. This is different from tax-related principles like the benefit principle taxation and the ability to pay principle.
Explanation:The accounting principle that ensures all expenses are recorded during the period when they are incurred and offsets those expenses against the revenues of the period is called the matching principle. This principle is central to accrual accounting and requires that companies report expenses at the same time as the revenues they are related to. Expenses are matched to revenues in the financial statements during the period in which the transaction occurs, not necessarily when the cash is paid or received. By doing so, this provides a more accurate picture of a company's financial position and performance for that period.
Regarding the principles around taxes mentioned, these are slightly different concepts. The benefit principle taxation suggests that those who benefit from government services should pay in proportion to the benefits they receive, whereas the ability to pay principle suggests that taxes should be levied on a person according to how well they can shoulder that burden.

C) the difference between the original cost price of a share and the price an investor receives when that share is sold.
D) a share of the profits paid to each shareholder on the basis of the number of shares they hold.
Answer:
D) a share of the profits paid to each shareholder on the basis of the number of shares they hold.
Explanation:
Dividend: The dividend is distributed when the company is earning profits. If the company is suffering losses, then no dividend is declared. In this, the priority is given to the preference shareholders then equity shareholders.
After distributing the dividend to the shareholders, the balance would be transferred to the retained earnings which is come under shareholder equity in the balance sheet.
So, based on their holding shares, the dividend is paid to each shareholder.
The balance of stockholder's equity at the beginning of the year and the end of the year was 70,000 and 60,000, respectively. The company issued no common stock during the year. Dividends were 22,000. What was the net income or loss for the year?
Answer: 12,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Stockholder's equity at the beginning of the year = 70,000
Stockholder's equity at the end of the year = 60,000
Dividends = 22,000
Net Income = Ending Balance + Dividends - Beginning Balance
= 60,000 + 22,000 - 70,000
= 12,000
Therefore, the net income for the year was 12,000.
In 2014, Wire Corp. had sales of $740,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expenses were $550,000, $90,000, and $95,000, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $94,000 and a tax rate of 35 percent. (Ignore any tax loss carryback or carryforward provisions.)
What is the company's operating cash flow?
Answer:
The company's operating cash flow is $100,000
Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:
= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense
where,
EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - administrative and selling expenses
= $740,000 - $550,000 - $95,000 - $90,000
= $5,000
The income tax expense equals to
= (Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - administrative and selling expenses - interest rate) × tax rate
= ( $740,000 - $550,000 - $95,000 - $90,000 - $94,000) × 35%
The amount comes in negative so we cannot compute the tax expense as corporation is suffering from the net loss
And all other items would remain same
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $5,000 + $95,000 - $0
= $100,000
The contribution margin income statement presents ________ above the contribution margin line.
A. all variable expenses
B. all fixed expenses
C. only fixed expenses relating to selling and administrative activities
D. only variable expenses relating to selling and administrative activities
Answer:
A. all variable expenses
Explanation:
Contribution margin: It is a margin which shows a difference between the sales revenue and the all variable cost/ expenses.
In mathematically,
Contribution margin = Sales revenue - variable expenses
It is computed by considering both the things i.e sales revenue and the variable expenses
And, if we want to compute the net income, So we use fixed expenses
Net income = Contribution margin - Fixed expenses
A contribution margin income statement presents all fixed expenses above the contribution margin line because variable costs and revenue are presented below the contribution margin line.
Explanation:In a contribution margin income statement, above the contribution margin line, you will typically find B. all fixed expenses. This is because the contribution margin income statement separates costs into variable and fixed costs. Variable costs are subtracted from sales to calculate the contribution margin. Then, fixed costs are subtracted from the contribution margin to compute net operating income or loss. Hence, variable costs and revenue are presented below the contribution margin line, and fixed costs are presented above it.
